The BCCI – one of the most powerful bodies in world sport – rejected some of the reforms, including the 15-day window, at a special general meeting in Mumbai last week.

The Supreme Court has accused the BCCI of “behaving like lords” and told them to “fall in line”.

Thakur insisted reforms were being made after the IPL was dogged by match-fixing and corruption scandals, but warned of the financial impact.

He said the BCCI would file a report to the Supreme Court for its next hearing due on October 6.

He also dismissed any chance of a first bilateral series with Pakistan since 2012 and said the body was open to the use of the much-debated Decision Review System (DRS) in the future.

“Forget about playing Pakistan, first let’s see whether we are able to play Champions Trophy or not. The chance of playing Pakistan only arises if we participate in Champions Trophy,” said Thakur.

DRS, which includes the Hawk-Eye ball-tracking technology, is optional for Test matches and only used if both sides agree to it.

India is the only side that refuses to use the technology, designed to help umpires make the right call. Thakur said only when the system can be proved to be “100 percent” foolproof would the BCCI reassess its stance.
